Have you been thinking of launching an ad lately?<\/p>\n
If yes, here are 3 things you should keep in mind before you launch it. This is applicable across any medium, be it print or digital media.<\/p>\n
DO NOT : Go blah blah over the ad<\/strong> Your primary message is lost in a sea of ambiguous, flamboyant words like \u2018micro nutrients\u2019 and \u2018celestial outdoors\u2019. Don\u2019t you find this a little pretentious?<\/p>\n If you do, then don\u2019t serve it to your audience. As simple as that. Make sure you word your ads such that they call attention, but more importantly- nail the message! It is alright even if creativity is compromised, but see to it that the message is not lost in a sea of only \u2018nice-sounding\u2019 text.<\/p>\n DO NOT : Claim to bring back the dead<\/strong> DO NOT : Plead like an insecure salesman<\/strong> Advertising money is \u2018big money\u2019 with no guaranteed returns, all the more reason why you should drive the message home without overdoing it. Bear in mind these 3 DON\u2019Ts when composing your ad and you can be sure of its success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Have you been thinking of launching an ad lately?

\nYou would want all the details on the ad, even if it is as small as 5(cms) x 10(cms) print ad. Yes, I understand that the particular ad slot cost you a bomb, but you ought to understand that nobody likes looking at an ad packed with text.<\/p>\n
\nKeep the copy realistic! An ad that shouts unrealistic claims does more damage than good. Bear in mind that your audience has a \u2018mind\u2019 too. Anything that insults their intelligence will only put them off. So instead of saying things like- \u2018Look like Beyonce in a week\u2019, stick to- \u2018Get a great body in 3 months\u2019.<\/p>\n
\nYes, you are selling. But avoid the \u2018Pleading salesman style\u2019. Sound confident, it shows that you have complete faith in your product\/service. In fact you could also afford to be a little brash, but play within the limits.
